staging: fwserial: delete the driver.

2022-09-26T08:33:28Z

In the years since it was added (2012), no one has stepped up to maintain this properly and get it merged into the kernel tree. So remove it as it's obviously not being used. If it is being used, we can easily revert this and take the time to get it out of the staging tree.

staging/fwserial: Create loop device the 'tty' way

2013-01-30T04:28:45Z

Register a second tty driver to create loopback devices for each firewire node. Note that the loopback devices are numbered from 0; the tty->index is transformed when used to index the port table. Remove the hack that previously enabled this. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging/fwserial: Update TODO file per reviewer comments

2013-01-07T19:16:49Z

Pursuant to this review https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/12/500 by Stefan Richter, update the TODO file. - Clarify purpose of TODO file - Remove firewire item #4. As discussed in this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/13/564 knowing the AR buffer size is not a hard requirement. The required rx buffer size can be determined experimentally. - Remove firewire item #5. This was a private note for further experimentation. - Change firewire item #1. Change suggested header from uapi header to kernel-only header. Signed-off-by: Peter Hurley Acked-by: Stefan Richter Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
